Warring exes Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s bitter custody battle returned to the courthouse on Monday as the former couple disputed home video footage the actress claims proves the actor is a bad dad.

Richards’ lawyer Neal Hersh called the emergency hearing in Los Angeles to review “serious issues” in the actor’s home that could be damaging to the couple’s kids.

Hersh handed over a videotape of their two daughters, which shows them behaving in an alarming way - according to Richards.
Neither party has divulged exactly what the video footage shows.

After consulting two expert witnesses, the judge dismissed Richards’ request to alter her current custody arrangement with her ex.
Sheen is now claiming victory.

Outside court Sheen’s attorney said, “Charlie is thrilled with the results.”

In a later statement, Wender added, “She (Richards) lost for the second time in seeking to change any of the custodial arrangements that currently exist for Charlie Sheen and the children.”

But former Bond girl Richards, who attended the hearing, believes she came out on top in the latest of a long line of court battles between the bitter pair, who split in 2006.

Her lawyer, Hersh, says, “Denise could not be happier with the order. She fully intends to support these orders and only hopes that Charlie will support those orders and follow them.”

Sheen was not in court for Monday’s hearing.
